Monday Groups

  • Interruptions. They're aggravating. Sometimes infuriating. But how we handle interruptions actually tells us more about ourselves. What do we do when God interrupts our lives? Many times, like Jonah, we run! In this 7-session Bible study, Priscilla Shirer redefines interruption and shows that interruption is actually God's invitation to do something beyond our wildest dreams. When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city.

  • Heaven. Who goes there? Where is it? What will we do there? Questions like these arise when we consider an eternal future beyond this physical life. How can we know the truth about what comes next? In this seven-session video-based study, Jennifer Rothschild explores the subject of heaven from a biblical perspective. She will separate what's true about heaven from what's based on legend, media depictions, and hopeful guesses. As you walk through the study, you'll not only gain a deeper understanding of what God has prepared for his children but also learn how to live with confidence today as you look forward to the glorious unending that awaits. Don't just wonder about heaven - embrace it with a faith that turns anticipation into excitement and peace.

    Note: This is a walking group - participants will meet up inside the building and then head outside for a walk around the school track next door as you discuss the book. This is a great way to get your steps in!

    Whether you’re facing the ordinary, daily pressures of squaring away today’s to-do list or an unexpected season of suffering that seems to have no end, sometimes it feels like Jesus’s promise of “overflowing joy” is simply not within reach for your real life. But it doesn’t have to be that way. By journeying with you through Jesus’s words in John 15, author and Bible teacher Tara Dew reveals three surprising paths to a truly joy-filled life. If you’re willing to take Jesus up on His teaching, you’ll find that God’s pruning, God’s presence, and God’s commands have the power to deliver not just a taste of joy as a fruit God is developing in your life, but an overflowing bushel of it! The question is, are you willing?

    Are your thoughts leading you toward transformation or conformity? Are they building you up or tearing you down? Are they drawing you closer to God or pulling you away? In Every Thought Captive, you will explore a topic crucial for your spiritual growth: the battle for your mind. Join Kyle Idleman for a journey where you will learn to actively and intentionally challenge your thoughts. This isn’t a study on the power of positive thinking—or how you have the power to change your life—but about learning how God made your brain. He will transform your life as you learn to take every thought captive and submit it to the truth of his Word.

    What comes to mind when you hear the word evangelism? Many Christians avoid sharing the gospel, letting feelings of inadequacy, guilt, or failure keep our lips sealed and the good news confined to Sunday mornings. But what if it isn’t as complicated or scary as we’ve made it? Always Going: How to Share Your Faith will help prepare you for gospel conversations with anyone, at any time, and anywhere.

    We don't know all their names. Some are referred to in Scripture only by their nationality. Some are known only by where they lived. Some became queens; others lived on the fringes of society. One gave birth to a nation; another gave birth to the Messiah. Their culture often overlooked or discounted the contributions of women, yet the writers of Scripture found these women and the role they played remarkable to the telling of God's story.
